I love Mexico! BUT, it is a dangerous place for many Gringos, and I will tell you why…

1. Smile, these poor people will KILL YOU for $5.00 so, SMILE so it won't happen.

2. Have the appearance that you are either a) CRAZY as a cat full of gin or b) Poor as a church mouse….. and when in doubt, combine the two…

3. as mentioned before, NEVER DRIVE AT NIGHT!

4. Stay out of places with roads hardly ever travelled… they lead to smuggler's cove, and they are armed to the gold teeth!

5. Leave all WOMEN at home…. they are a liability in Mexico!

6. Better to just PAY THE BRIBE… it's always cheaper in the end.
